The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 7/25/2017

A storm of howling wind and crackling light changed the face of civilization. Waves of monsters overtook humanity and pushed the survivors into hiding.

Developed by the team at Epic Games, Fortnite combines fluid base building with third-person action. Gather supplies, build forts, and defend them against an onslaught of ghoulish creatures.
